Friday Night Lights star Minka Kelly is back on our screens with a new Netflix Christmas romance, Champagne Problems, premiering on November 19, 2025. Kelly, now 45, has been working steadily since the early 2000s, but took a bit of a break in the first half of the 2020s. However, she has been steadily returning to the spotlight over the past few years, releasing a hit memoir, and starring in the Netflix Western series Ransom Canyon, alongside Josh Duhamel.
